He recently released a single in collaboration with Juno Award winner G.R. Gritt titled “Qui crie au loup? ft. Connor Lafortune.” Above all else, Connor is an activist, a shkaabewis (helper), and a compassionate human being. Lindsay Mayhew (she/her) is a spoken word poet and author from Sudbury, Ontario.

In Italia le donne occupate vengono pagate 1 ora e 24 minuti in meno rispetto agli uomini pur lavorando quanto loro. Inoltre dedicano giornalmente al lavoro riproduttivo e domestico ben 2 ore e 47 minuti aggiuntivi. Nonostante le donne affrontino tassi di disoccupazione e inoccupazione significativamente più alti rispetto agli uomini, questa disparità non viene ancora pienamente percepita, a livello collettivo, come una vera e propria violazione di un diritto fondamentale. Ne abbiamo parlato con Barbara de Micheli, esperta di Gender Equality, guida la Social Justice Unit della Fondazione Brodolini e coordina il Master in Gender Equality dal 2012, si occupa di progettazione europea con un'attenzione specifica alla prospettiva di genere nel mercato del lavoro.

Durchgang des Führungskräfteprogramms "Zukunft.Frauen" des BMAW, der IV und der WKO, das sie selbst vor vielen Jahren mitinitierte.

Your greatness is a HUGE threat to human governments!  So much so that governments are designed to suppress it.  Greatness comes from uniqueness, and when you operate in your uniqueness, you have the capacity to be great!  And since we are ALL unique, we can all be great!  The problem is that by its nature, the human government can only function if greatness (including your greatness) is limited to the rulers.  So the Mystics do everything in their power to homogenize us (make us all think and act the same), in order to curtail our individual uniqueness.  The Mystics of Force (rulers) do it through laws.  The Mystics of Spirit (social engineers) do it by using our tendency for comparative thinking (pride) to get is to homogenize ourselves!  They convince us that uniqueness is unfair!  And since we tend to fear that another's greatness might be more valuable than our own, we do their job for them by peer pressuring others to behave and think in an “acceptable” way!  The mystics use (or misuse) reactionary terms like Equality, Social Justice, Patriotism, Race, Gender Equality, and even Religion to get us to police each other. The result is monotonous conformity.  But the God of the Bible embraces our uniqueness!  In fact, the ONLY way for God's Plan to work is if we are ALL great!  God needs your greatness in order for Heaven to be what He wants.  We'll discuss it in this week's podcast.For exclusive content, Q&A Videos, and private Bible study, become a Faith By Reason Patreon www.patreon.com/faithbyreason

Send us a textIt's been 30 years since the Beijing Declaration on Women, a landmark agreement to empower women and girls.“The Beijing declaration was such an incredible moment to say that enough is enough. Women are half of humanity and we have to be better,” says Lata Narayanaswamy, associate professor at the School of Politics and International Studies at the University of Leeds.But now, some governments are rolling back women's rights. Humanitarian programmes that help women and girls are being cut.“During his first presidential term, Trump vetoed a new resolution proposed under the UN Women, Peace and Security agenda because it enshrined the right of women to their reproductive rights,” says Leandra Bias from the Institute of Political Science at the University of Bern. What's happening? Support for vulnerable women is being cut, and toxic masculinity is growing. The UN is worried.“I am concerned about the resurgence in some quarters of toxic ideas about masculinity and efforts to glorify gender stereotypes, especially among young men,” said UN human rights commissioner Volker Türk. This week Inside Geneva asks what toxic masculinity actually means. Is it even new?“What worries me about the language of toxic masculinity is that it's like, ‘Oh my God, we didn't know this was coming.' But it's actually just a continuity of how violence and patriarchy combine,” says Narayanaswamy. Is there a connection between toxic masculinity and the repression of women? Are both now identifiers for authoritarian regimes?“‘We are the tough guys, we are actually the proper nations, while look at Europe, they have been completely emasculated and therefore they are not a model to aspire to.' Therefore, democracy is also not a model to aspire to,” says Bias. Join host Imogen Foulkes on Inside Geneva to listen to the full episode. Get in touch!

With honesty, humility, and a refreshingly human take, Jeremy shares his own awakening to the hidden systems that hold women back - and how men can step up, speak out, and be part of the solution. If you've ever wondered what it really means to “smash the patriarchy” (and why it's just as critical for men), this conversation is a must-listen. You can listen to the episode here or via itunes or spotify. Or you can find it on most other podcast platforms and apps.

In a world struggling to embrace the beauty, complexities, and possibilities of gender it's not surprising that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently called for more "masculine energy" in corporate America. His callous statement made on the Joe Rogan Experience has sparked controversy and ignited crucial conversations. His comments about masculinity suggest that corporate culture has become too "feminine" and that a "celebration of aggression" is needed.   This perspective perpetuates harmful stereotypes about what it means to be masculine, reinforcing toxic masculinity, which is a set of behaviors linked to violence, homophobia, and the devaluation of women. Recent research by the American Psychological Association reveals that toxic masculinity isn't just detrimental to workplace culture and inclusion efforts; it's also harmful to men themselves. This outdated model of masculinity limits emotional expression, promotes unhealthy competition, and restricts the full spectrum of human experience.   This podcast episode challenges Zuckerberg's narrow view and explores the concept of "multiple masculinities" – a framework that embraces diverse expressions of masculinity, including those that generously diverge from the limited behaviors that toxic masculinity prescribes.  By embracing a broader understanding of masculinity, organizational leaders can usher in a more inclusive and authentic leadership landscape that benefits people who express their genders in many different ways.   To delve deeper into this critical topic, host Rhodes Perry sits down with masculinity expert Adam Segal, founder and facilitator of New Masculinities Group. Adam is a dedicated advocate for critical conversations around gender, sexuality, and masculinity through an intersectional feminist lens. He brings a wealth of experience facilitating men's groups, conducting male accountability work, and promoting anti-racism efforts.    In this insightful conversation, Rhodes and Adam will explore: ---The limitations of traditional masculinity. Unpacking the harmful impacts of toxic masculinity on individuals, workplaces, and society as a whole. ---The power of multiple masculinities. Exploring the benefits of embracing a broader spectrum of masculine expressions, including those that challenge traditional norms. ---Creating a gender inclusive leadership landscape. Discussing how organizations can foster a culture that values diverse leadership styles and promotes gender equity. ---The role of men in advancing gender equality. Examining how men can actively contribute to creating a more inclusive and equitable workplace for all. ---Practical strategies for challenging toxic masculinity. Offering actionable steps that individuals and organizations can take to dismantle harmful norms and promote healthy expressions of masculinity.   Today's conversation is designed to support people like you - visionary leaders, and those on their way to joining us. This podcast episode offers a timely and crucial conversation about the future of leadership and the role of masculinity in building gender inclusive workplaces.

Of Boys and Men author Richard Reeves explains how we can address men's modern struggles without undermining women's gains. What We Discuss with Richard Reeves: Men are falling behind in multiple areas — education (60/40 female/male college ratio), mental health (40,000 male suicides annually), and economically (wages for men without college degrees have remained flat since 1979). Society often overlooks men's struggles due to fears that addressing them might diminish focus on women's issues, creating a false "either/or" narrative when we need an "and" approach. Traditional male roles as breadwinners have diminished without being replaced by expanded roles, leaving many men feeling lost and vulnerable to extremist ideologies. Increasing social isolation affects men disproportionately, with 15% of men under 30 reporting they don't have a single friend, contributing to mental health challenges. Men can overcome these challenges by connecting with other men, developing meaningful friendships, pursuing their own authentic path, and recognizing there's nothing wrong with being male. Building supportive male relationships and communities is essential for well-being and can counteract isolation while providing positive models of masculinity. And much more...

Greenland hasn't had this much attention from America since the William Taft Administration. Rhetoric, and even a few congressional proposals, are flying over the prospect of the United States purchasing — or perhaps invading — the autonomous territory of Denmark. Strategic positioning and untapped mineral resources are the main drivers of the argument. The likelihood of such an action appears remote. The Inuit people, who make up the vast majority of the population, are more seriously focused on independence from the colonial power of Denmark and cooperative efforts to reduce the effects of climate change. We'll hear from elected leaders and other Greenland residents about the current political pressures. GUESTS Aaja Chemnitz (Inuk), Member of Danish Parliament representing Greenland Naaja Nathanielsen (Inuk), Minister of Business, Trade, Mineral Resources, Justice, and Gender Equality in the government of Greenland Parnuna Egede Dahl (Inuk), special advisor for Oceans North Kalaallit Nunaat
